Though Johnny Cash made this tragic song famous (even winning it the CMA Song of the Year award in 1970) and Willie Nelson also recently recorded it, the best version is by Kris Kristofferson, the man who wrote the song. Perhaps best known these days for being in theBlademovies, this ex-helicopter pilot and janitor wrote some classic country songs, such as "Me and Bobby McGee," and this great ode to the sad comedown after a night of drunken debauchery.

Drinking lyric:"And the beer I had for breakfast wasn't bad, so I had one more for dessert"
